One "tag" you can add to MP3 files is "beats per minute" (BPM), at least in iTunes4 (I never noticed it before, but it may have been there). Adding this BPM info to your files allows for some interesting playlists such as the following:
- A playlist of songs that move at the same speed you walk.
- A playlist of songs that is ideal for doing exercises at your normal speed.
- A playlist of songs that promotes better learning -- some research says 60 bpm is ideal for this.
- A playlist that is the same tempo as your target heart rate.
- You can sort your playlists using the BPM field, so tunes either gradually get faster or slower.
